《獨立》杜甫 (710-770)

空外一鷙鳥   河間雙白鷗   飄颻搏擊便   容易往來遊
草露亦多濕   蛛絲仍未收   天機近人事   獨立萬端憂

《Standing Alone》Du Fu

Up yonder sky an eagle hovers high
Down river two gulls float feathers white
The eagle may swoop down for prey as it pleases
To and fro the pairing gulls swim at ease

Moistened by dew the grass is tangling wet
Looking for prey the spider widens its net
Nature cares for the well beings of everyone
Alone I wish all things are equal as one
